I AM ALS is a patient-led community that provides critical support and resources to those living with ALS, caregivers and loved ones. We empower advocates to raise mainstream awareness and lead the revolution against ALS in driving the development of cures.
ALS is relentless. So are we. The question is no longer if we will find cures for ALS, but when. That answer depends on you.
I AM ALS is founded by Brian Wallach and Sandra Abrevaya to infuse hope in the community. Join the tens of thousands of people in our movement to put an end to ALS and unlock critical breakthroughs for diseases like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia and beyond.
Founder Brian Wallach came up with the name I AM ALS to open the door to community and allow all to see themselves as part of the real and ongoing struggle to relegate ALS to the dustbin of history. Additionally, the “I” makes this a deeply personal commitment. ALS is 100% fatal, but determination to end the disease lives on. I recognize that as brutal as this flight is, I have agency, I have a the choice to make a difference. And I am 100% committed to fighting until the day, working together, we defeat ALS.
